The New York Post has reported that MTV is working on new episodes of Beavis and Butt-head. This is the best thing I’ve heard all month! I love these two idiots. I love Mike Judge’s writing. And I love that the show will be used to promote music videos — a strange concept for MTV, I know. Here’s the skinny:
Sources at MTV confirmed that a new batch of “Beavis and Butt-head” episodes are in the works.
The new series would keep Beavis and Butt-head in their perpetual high-school state, but it would be updated so that the pals — who obsessively watch music videos on a battered TV set — could lob their snarky comments at more current targets like Lady Gaga.
Any of you psyched for the return of Beavis and Butt-head? What are some of your favorite moments from the show? One of my favorites was when Beavis started spouting out lyrics from Harry Belafonte’s “Man Smart (Woman Smarter)” during Pizzicato 5’s “Twiggy Twiggy vs. James Bond”. It was just a smart bit of writing geared towards older viewers…or in my case someone with parents that listened to a lot of Harry Belafonte. Ha!
